The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding an autoinducer inactivation protein, wherein the encoded protein comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of 104HXHXDH109˜60aa˜H169˜21aa˜D191 and 103HXHXDH108˜72aa˜H180˜21aa˜D202, and to expression vectors and transformed plant and animal cells comprising the same. The proteins encoded by these nucleic acid molecules provide to a susceptible plant or animal increased resistance to a disease the virulence of which is regulated by autoinducers. Also provided are methods of increasing disease resistance in susceptible plants and animals.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein comprising 263 amino acids having the formula 102aa-amino acid motif-61aa, wherein the amino acid motif consists of HXHXDH-71aa-H-21aa-D, wherein said protein has autoinducer inactivation activity and wherein the protein has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:11.
An isolated protein comprising 263 amino acids having the formula 102aa-amino acid motif-61aa, wherein the amino acid motif consists of HXHXDH-71aa-H-21aa-D, wherein said protein has autoinducer inactivation activity and wherein the protein has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:11.
An isolated cell of a procaryote or eukaryote stably transformed with a nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein comprising 263 amino acids having the formula 102aa-amino acid motif-61aa, wherein the amino acid motif consists of HXHXDH-71aa-H-21aa-D, wherein said protein has autoinducer inactivation activity and wherein the protein has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:11.
